Armed and Ready in Downtown Salt Lake City

SPECIAL DISCLAIMER: What follows below is 100% my own opinion, though there are several facts contained in the text as well. Please also note, if you have no interest in reading things of a (somewhat) political nature (though there are no mentions of political affiliations, and instead, standard constitutional rights here in the United States), then there's a chance you may not be interested in what follows.

That said, I do believe that the topic of "The New Media", which is the primary focus of this post, represents technology quite well. From "affordable-to-the masses" professional quality audio and video equipment, to the web feeds in which provide subscription based access to this information for on-demand delivery directly to your desktop, there is a MASSIVE shift that has both taken place, and is continuing to take place in the way news is being gathered, reported, and accessed -- all made possible via this wonderful "little" invention called XML.
